Open Source Mano (OSM) is an ETSI-hosted open source management and orchestration (MANO) community project and is ETSI NFV architecture compliant. xFlow Software Technology is a founding member of OSM and actively participates in community discussions and code commits.
Our main focus is to provide an open-source MANO solution to the OSM community. OSM architecture comprises of various modules where each module performs distinct features. xFlow Software Technology has contributed to the community by designing and implementing a feature on Cloud-Init.
Cloud-Init automates the function of specifying authentication parameters for VDUs in virtual network functions. The feature allows the end user to pass information on validation of users like user/password and ssh-key pairs. The process involved working with the OSM community and providing a solution to integrate the feature in Open Source MANO.
